Spring

"Wearing them is like having a spring in your step as they are so light, unlike 2 previous pairs I have bought from another company. Super stylish & suede still looks fab…so far!"

Sioned I. (5/5)

Gorgeous and Comfy

"This is the second pair of platforms from Sans Matin. I love the suede texture and colours. The Zoya is equally nice and elegant with a pair of jeans, linen trousers, shorts or summer dresses. Sans Matin also offer an excellent customer service."

Q&A

I have just had my Zoya shoes badly splashed from a muddy puddle. Can you advise the best way to clean them please.
Hi Eileen, I'm sorry to hear that! For the nubuck you can add a bit of fairy liquid to water and use a wet cloth to clean them. The laces can be washed separately but at 30 degrees and on a hand wash setting (alternatively you could soak them in a bowl with vanish) and the soles you can use a cloth or a toothbrush (which is more effective) and again use fairy liquid and water. We also sell a cleaning kit which has a foam that lifts any marks right out :)
I need a removable insert to be able to put my own orthotics inside, do you have that ?
Hi Alina, Thank you for reaching out and we hope you are well. Our shoes do have removable insoles so you are able to put your orthotics inside. Please let us know if you need anything else. Best, The SM Team
